------------------------

To get around this error with the missing /etc/puppet/puppet.conf I created
a directory and link for the .conf since the original location is in
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf

[root at kent-hanchett puppet]# pwd
/etc/puppet
[root at kent-hanchett puppet]# ls -la
total 12
drwxr-xr-x.  2 root root   29 Dec  4 18:13 .
drwxr-xr-x. 79 root root 8192 Dec  4 18:13 ..
lrwxrwxrwx.  1 root root   34 Dec  4 18:13 puppet.conf.old ->
/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf

But after the run you can see that it was renamed to .old and the error
appears again.

So how can I set either to correct path to puppet.conf or how do I handle
this situation?

Any ideas would be appreciated.
